Trying to remember a movie name...

[Gurm]

Ok here's a thread for us. I was tempted to call it "New MURC Game" or something, but we've got so many of those.

So here's what we do. Think of a movie you can BARELY remember. Maybe you watched it as a kid. But it's been bugging you. You can't remember what it was called, and you'd like to rent it again. Describe it for the group, and everyone else will try to figure out what it's called!

I have two, to start:

------------------------------------------------------

This movie is about ... a girl, I think. And she's staying with a family, but she's not really welcome, or SOMETHING like that. Anyway, it turns out that she remembers a hidden hiding place inside a fireplace in their house, and it turns out that she's really their long-lost granddaughter or something like that. The important bits are the hiding place in the fireplace, methinks. Sound familiar to anyone?

------------------------------------------------------

The next film is a post-apocalyptic piece, I _believe_ it starred Ernest Borgnine, anyway all these dirty ragtag types are fighting for food and trying to get to... God only knows where, some kind of promised land? Eden or something. The hint here is Ernest Borgnine.

------------------------------------------------------

Remember - I don't KNOW the answers to these, so that makes it even more interesting. I only vaguely remember them!

Yeah that certainly sounds right. I figured that one would be easy, a quick IMDB search for Ernest Borgnine. The OTHER one though... *sigh*

Hovewer I've found something that might be interesting while searching for the first one...

http://imdb.com/title/tt0069992/

http://imdb.com/title/tt0306566/

But probably TV productions and shorts can't be found easily...

No idea about Gurm's two, but I have one. Well, actually, I can remember a scene from a movie, but not the movie itself. I think it's a relatively well known one. Help please:

The scene is a bloke (I think dressed in overalls) on the top of a building who sets up a v. long range sniper rifle on a tripod by nail-gunning it to the roof. He shoots someone getting out of an aeroplane about 2 miles away. Maybe gets a bodyguard instead? This is where it gets fuzzy. The hero of the film (maybe?) spots the sun glinting off the lens of the scope on the gun and races across town to find the killer.

Or something like that, at least. Was really bugging a friend and I a few weeks ago that we couldn't remember the film's name. Both of us remembered that scene though (probably because the gun was quite cool )

Okay, I have one that's been bugging me forever. Sorta/kinda a circus picture. An orphan girl escapes from a concentration camp or from behind the iron curtain. She's taken in by a kindly elephant trainer's wife. She befriends the elephant but not the trainer. The elephant carrys her to the doctor when she's injured falling down the stairs of a bell tower. Finally she's accepted into the elephant trainer's family.

Maybe european or disney. Pretty sure not disney.
